Yvonne felt even more relieved as she suggested, "Joel, how did things end up like this? Nora has escaped from prison, and Old Maddy's life is still uncertain... I think we should invite the reporters in and wait for Old Maddy's treatment. Otherwise, the public will definitely not believe us!"
Upon hearing this, Joel's eyes shot out a fierce look.
She could actually make such a suggestion at such a time?
Seeing that Joel was silent, Yvonne looked directly at Morris. "Captain Ford, I'm sure you don't want to be looked at as a partner-in-crime, right?"
Morris smiled coldly. "We have a clear conscience. Why should we be afraid of other people's words? Besides, how can we live-stream the moment we solve a case? Miss Yvonne, your suggestion is too frivolous!"
How could a police officer be allowed to do a live broadcast?
Morris had never been afraid of any comments, just like Justin and Joel.
The two of them did not take what was happening on the Internet seriously at all!
Hearing Morris's words, Yvonne panicked. "The doctor hasn't pushed Old Maddy out yet, which means he's probably dead. Captain Ford, my suggestion is just to prove yours and the Smiths' innocence! Otherwise, if they say that we're protecting Nora..."
As soon as she said this, the door to the operating theater was suddenly pushed open.
Nora's cold and hoarse voice slowly traveled over. "I'm afraid I'll have to disappoint you. Old Maddy is not dead."
The entire corridor fell silent. 1
Everyone looked at the entrance of the operation theater. Nora was standing there wearing a surgical gown. Her face could not be seen clearly, but everyone could still see how calm and composed she was.
As she spoke, she took off her gloves. After taking off her gloves, she casually took off her surgical cap and mask. Her long hair fell down, revealing her beautiful face.
As her mask and hat were relatively tight, there were two red marks on her cheeks. She looked rather comical, but no one could laugh at this moment.
That was because her eyes were cold and indifferent. Even her hair was filled with seriousness when she performed surgery!
Justin stared at her, an inexplicable sense of pride rising in him as he slowly smiled.
There was more admiration in Joel's fox-like eyes.
Morris's eyes were still pitch-black. He could not say what emotions he was feeling, but anyone with eyes could tell that he was no longer as nervous as before.
The three men each had their own thoughts, but Yvonne was the one who broke the silence. She cried out in surprise, "You, why are you here?"
Nora walked out slowly and threw the gloves at the person standing at the entrance of the operation theater. That person actually took them subconsciously. When he received them, he realized that he was like an assistant. He wanted to return the gloves to her, but he did not know what to say.
Nora loosened her wrists and moved her stiff neck.
She had been completely focused on the acupuncture treatment she had used to treat Old Maddy earlier and did not dare to let her guard down. It had been a full one and a half hours... Coupled with the eight to nine hours she had been detained, she had not slept for a total of 11 to 12 hours!
At this moment, her temper had already reached the limits. She frowned and her usually obedient, yet vicious eyes swept over Yvonne. Her voice was filled with impatience. "Do you not have a brain? Of course, I'm here to treat Old Maddy."
These words made Yvonne feel a lump in her chest. She bit her lip angrily and pretended to be weak. "Nora, don't misunderstand. It was Captain Ford who said that you had escaped from prison. Now that you're here, I asked you a few questions..."
Before she could finish speaking, Nora ignored her and looked at Morris. She endured the discomfort in her body and said, "I've saved him. I'm going back to the police station with you now. As for him..."
She pointed at Justin. "Can we release him first? After all, we were too anxious earlier and were left with no other choice."
Justin said, "Didn't we already find out the unknown composition in his blood earlier?"
Had the unknown components been investigated?
Nora looked at Morris.
Joel was stunned. "Unknown composition?"
Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Morris said slowly, "Yes, we found some unknown components in Old Maddy's blood, so we suspected that Miss Nora used Old Maddy to research a new drug. It's a huge crime to privately develop illegal drugs, so we detained her."
Everyone was enlightened.
Medical accidents were common, but there had never been a case where a doctor was taken away and could not be bailed out before they could confirm that something had happened to the patient.
If that was the reason, then it made sense.
Only Nora narrowed her eyes.
Research new drugs?
These words made her frown. She wanted to connect everything together, but her mind was too muddled right now. She could not even be bothered to think about the basics.
She decided to put this matter aside and think about it after she had rested enough.
She did not speak, so Justin asked, "Then what is the unknown component we're investigating now?"
